[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some asshat brought CUPCAKES (with brightly neon frosting) as a group snack to my kid's soccer game last weekend.  Please don't do that. [/quote]

Pretty sure you're the one who sounds like the asshat here.[/quote]

Nope.  It was obnoxious.  Several kids couldn't eat them because of food allergies and started crying.  [/quote]

Allergies to cupcakes?  WTF?  A note needs to go out prior to the first game so other parents can be alerted - especially me because I'm one of those that brings cupcakes.  I don't do nuts or strawberries because so many kids are allergic to those but I've never heard of CUPCAKE allergies.  I don't care if you think I'm an asshat.  Kids love the CUPCAKES and my kids get to choose the frosting. If you don't like what other parents bring, dedicate yourself to providing the snacks for the season or tell you kid not to eat what I bring.[/quote]

Believe me, my kid is not eating your cupcakes.  But you are being a jerk for signing up to provide snack to a group of kids after an athletic event and showing up with brightly colored cupcakes.  Between the food dye and the sugar and the general unhealthiness, you are ruining a bunch of kids' lunches and creating a ridiculous carnival culture at what should be a healthy event.

While I agree that cupcakes aren't the best soccer snack, unless the parent knew about the kids' allergies, calling him or her a jerk seems like a bit of an overreaction. Your kid will survive having an unhealthy snack after soccer one time, I promise![/quote]

My kid will not be eating it.  Its a non-issue for us.  [/quote]
